Dean Kenneth A. Browne Moser: Hope for Bulldozers By Easter To Start Dorm Mr. Karl Moser, Business Manager at Towson, has recently explained some plans for the new women's dormitory to be built on Prettyman field. ""We hope to have bull-dozers in by Easter,"" Mr. Moser speculated. However, work on the new dorm already began with ""what engineers call borings."" These borings, designated by the red flags, enable the contractors to determine the depth of rock beneath the ground. Bids for the contractors have already been made, and the work will be done by Gadreau and Gadreau. The new building will be a duplicate of Prettyman Hall. However, the modern fire alarm system to be in-stalled, will be out of sight. The dorm will have 75 rooms and will accommodate 150 women. Prettyman will be duplicated as nearly as possible, since the same plans will be used for the new building. Besides housing the new students that will by enter-int the new 'wad-ing will serve. to seine eN - tent. to relieve the crowded rooms in Newell Hall.

This is indeed another aspect to think about with the coming of the new building.

Sophomore tests will be given two full mornings, March 14 and 15: students taking them will be officially excused from classes.

In 1959, the administrator was chairman of the committee which prepared the material for the visiting committee for the last evaluation of the college by the Middle Atlantic States Associa-tion and did an excellent job in the estimation of Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, president of Towson. ""1 have relied on him for much of the academic leader-ship because of his experi-ence and background in aca-demic fields,"" Dr. Hawkins commented. Dean Bowne served as acting president while Dr. Hawkins was abroad in 1959-60. ""I would not have taken the leave if I were not sure that he could have ade-auately served in that capacity,"" Dr. Hawkins stated.
